Signs Of A Flea Infestation
Like bed bugs and other small insect pests, fleas are so minuscule that it’s difficult to see them. Some key signs of fleas include:
- Excessive Itching: If you or your pets are scratching more than usual, this is the first sign of fleas.
- Flea Bites: Flea bites look like small, red bumps that are usually found in clusters or lines on the skin, and can be incredibly itchy.
- Flea Dirt: While you might not notice adult fleas, you may see small brown specks of flea faeces, also known as ‘dirt’.
- Flea Larvae Or Eggs: If you see small, white specks, these could be flea larvae, which look like little maggots, or their eggs, which look like small grains of rice.
If you notice any of these signs of fleas, then it’s crucial that you act fast. If you’re based in or around Aberdeen or the surrounding area, contact us to get your flea treatment started.

While fleas might not pass on as many diseases as other pests, they can still be annoying and, in some cases, cause major issues. If you are allergic to flea salvia, then you could face serious skin problems. Additionally, having fleas in your home can be stressful and cause sleep deprivation. For businesses, having fleas could ruin your reputation and cause you to shut down your premises until the infestation is removed, which can be costly.
While there are DIY flea products on the market, such as flea spray or flea collars, these aren’t particularly effective, as they don’t get rid of all the fleas and their eggs. If fleas find themselves in an unfavourable environment, such as a cold space or without easy access to blood, they can lie dormant for several months before reappearing. So, while you might think the infestation is over, it could return.
With LPPC Environmental’s cutting-edge heat treatment solutions for fleas, you can rest assured that these irritating insects are gone for good. By heating the air to a high heat we can safely kill fleas and their eggs, and then remove them from your space. Call 08000116100 to book your flea treatment today.
When Is Flea Season In The UK?
In the UK, fleas are considered an all-year pest, a flea infestation could arise at any time. Because fleas prefer warmer temperatures, you’re more likely to get them in the spring or summer months, particularly when you have more visitors and are more likely to have your garden visited by wildlife. Since a flea problem could occur at any time of year, it pays to be proactive and look out for adult fleas or flea eggs, and deal with the issue promptly.
What Kind Of Fleas Are There In The UK?
There are several flea species found in the UK, and they’re usually named after their preferred host animals, such as cat fleas, dog fleas, human fleas and bird fleas. However, they will bite any type of animal in their quest for food, so if you have cat fleas in your home, they may still bite you and other pets. Thankfully, heat treatments like the ones provided by LPPC Environmental, can get rid of any flea species at all life cycle stages.
Do Fleas Go Away On Their Own?
Like most pests, fleas won’t usually go away on their own, especially once they’ve found a comfortable space with regular access to food. Since fleas feed on blood, once they’ve got a regular supply, they will breed, so the flea infestation will only get worse. The only way to treat fleas is to work with a professional pest control provider, so it’s essential that you contact us as soon as possible.
